Wooo...test drive Toyota Prius yesterday...not bad especially start engine (no sound) but Insight much more comfortable... Probably leather seat  tongue.gif  Very quiet indeed but when you accelerate, you can hear the engine roaring a bit...don't like the sound...prefer insight more...  tongue.gif

Ask the salesman about the incident in Kerinchi highway where prius caught fire(first in the world). It is because that fella change the radio into navi radio cum touch screen. Somehow the wiring touch the high voltage and caught fire I think. Salesman no comment  tongue.gif

Did check the engine bonnet, very complex. Not as simple as insight. Modification is hard and at your own risk as the generator is beside the engine(High Voltage).  tongue.gif

Still prefer insight...sportier...easier to mod and comfortable... That's my opinion....  biggrin.gif

Your SC allow you to use mineral oil? My SC told me the the quote is with semi -sync oil, all insight use semi sync by default.

Bring the manual along. There is no such thing as must use semi so long it meets the minimum recommendation of the manufacturer.

Yes...dashboard looks futuristic but not colorful...Still like Insight... biggrin.gif Oh, ya talking of distance Prius air cond is one of a kind...Can work even engine idle or stop... Very cold indeed and powerful...doesn't use radiator coolant...use wind/air...that's what salesman told me... tongue.gif another Toyota technology... biggrin.gif

Don't worry, insight dashboard is much much better than Nissan Teana.... 70K++ different tongue.gif Did test drive but not me...My bro did... biggrin.gif Me seat back seat and watch... rclxms.gif

Eh? I tot from the Honda website stated 4th service is RM181.50?? anyhow since we service every 5k, dun waste money on semi-syn oil

yup.i gave a call to HM Malaysia asking if we are allowed to use mineral oil for the subsequent service after the first 3 times....the answer from HM was 'yes' but they would still recommend to use semi-sync oil for better performance and fuel efficiency..If not mistaken, apparently the price difference between the mineral oil and semi-sync oil is not so much difference blink.gif

The "Blue" day light you are referring are done at KL Auto.

Checked it out the other day, look nice in pic, perfect fit, but in real look a bit out of place under naked eye.

Drop by KLAUTO and check it out if it fits your eyes.

If i'm not mistaken, there is a difference of RM20 plus. If HM say "ok", then i will opt for mineral oil next service. SAVE!

I prefer Insight dashboard over prius too.

Prius dashboard looks boring and the huge meter in the middle is kinda ugly imho.

A suggestion: Can we compile the name of those who are active here according to their state so at least we know and much easier to get together. I prolly start the ball rolling

im facing the same issue now.
it happen quite frequent lately with the engine slow response and needed hard acceleration to get the car moving. the jerking issue is getting worse now, even my colleague in my ride thought i did it in purpose, car will jerk while braking.
my insight is hitting 25k km. i hope this Insight will proof those hybrid haters wrong...haha

if this continue, I will sell this insight and get a civic or camry.
*
just to share.
sent my ride for 20k km service and checked on the engine jerk and unstable acceleration issue.

i was told to change air filter, reset CVT and service regularly (WHICH I DID).
anyway, I have no choice but to use FULLY Syn engine oil as the SemiSyn-Oil is out of stocks!!

well, I must say, my IN2 is now MUCH nicer to cruise around, smoother engine (which originally already very smooth), battery easily fully charged, higher FC, now i can cruise for 820km for 30L petrol. i could feel that the engine is much much more responsive than before now.

anyway, high price to pay for the engine oil and total 20k km service. cost me RM513!!
